You are absolutely right.
Potassium is very important, and when dieting, many people feel fatigue because they become low in potassium. V8 juice is very high in this, and I use it after a workout. (don't like the sodium, but when one sweats alot, it seems less harmful then!)
Some people have low potassium too if they have a mild genetic renal tubular acidosis problem. Also having frequent diarrhea leads to potassium loss that way.
Gatorade BTW is NOT a good source of potassium (this is often misunderstood).
Thanks for the reminders and links.
1/2 of a cantaloupe has 1,400 milligrams BTW!
